What inspired you to make this project?
Watching how kids, ages ranging from 4 to 21 and beyond, stop to consider the best ways to design a roller coaster, something that stops them in their tracks and forces them to think in an entirely new way. They come up with their own methods and designs for attaching track extensions, and this project promotes team work as well as individual creativity. As a public library, we are always looking for low cost projects that align with the school curriculum, and this project has proven itself time and time again.
